Ashley & Justin
Wedding Party
Beth Swanson
Maid of Honor
Our friendship goes all the way back to the first grade!! Although we may not see each other all of the time, our friendship/bond always has remained the same and we pick up right where we left off without hesitation. I could write a novel filled with all of our inside jokes and our fun memories we’ve shared throughout our lives. She is my roller blading, margarita drinking, always here for me, one of a kind, friend for life!!
Jason Neveu
Best Man
Jason is not only my brother, but a mentor and a friend as well. I grew up looking up to him, especially when it came to playing sports. He taught me how to play through injuries and how to overcome adversity (this, in turn, helped me in the Marine Corps later on in life). For these reasons, and so many more, I am honored to have him stand by my side as my best man!
Alexa Gustrowsky
Bridesmaid
Alexa and I met in Dental Hygiene school and we instantly became very close and I consider her a sister! We have so many funny stories and fun times together and I am so blessed to have her in my life. We may not have known each other all of our lives but she has become one of my best friends and it feels like we have known each other forever!
Josh Alger
Groomsman
Josh (AKA Mosh) was the first friend that I made after being stationed in California, and since then, he has become one of my closest friends. He welcomed me into his family by including me on his softball team and opening up his home to me every weekend. We've gone to many Padres games (where he was "booed" by Cubs fans in San Diego). No matter what, I know he will always have my back and vice versa.
Gianna Hauger
Bridesmaid
Gianna and I went through the Dental Hygiene program together and I swear I got through that program because of her! Her and I share so many fun times and inside jokes together that I will always remember. This girl is my twin in life! We may not look similar, but we are so identical when it comes to humor, thoughts, personality, and so much more. These are just a few of the reasons why we will always have a close bond throughout our lives.
Michael Stone
Groomsman
Stone and I met at the Schoolhouse in Aberdeen, Maryland. We were both stationed in California and became roommates and good friends at the same time (even though he is a Cardinals fan). Even though we met later on in life, he is not only one of my closest friends, but a brother as well.
Erin Bornheim
Bridesmaid
Erin is technically by aunt (who is only four years older than me) but she is more like my sister! We have tons of inside jokes and adventures downtown Chicago that we've shared over the years and she is truly an amazing friend/sister. I was honored to stand by her when she got married and now am so thankful that she is standing by me in mine!
John Trucinski
Groomsman
John and I met in high school and have stayed close friends ever since. Our love for cars helped develop a strong bond throughout the years, and because of this, we decided to rent a house together. John has always been someone that I can turn to and I couldn't imagine going through this day without him standing by me.
Kelli Koehring
Bridesmaid
Kelli and I first met through the Dental Hygiene program and since then we have remained very close friends! We were always partners together in clinic and all we did was laugh and try to make the best of life during stressful schooling. She is now one of my best friends and I know she will always be here for me when I need her and vice versa! I feel so blessed to have her in my life!
Jose G. Pineda Jr.
Groomsman
Jose and I met in Kuwait while working for Honeywell. Him and I always had to work in a maintenance tent that was excruciatingly hot and this experience is how our friendship began. Our one day off a week was spent at one another's apartments, ordering wings and watching movies. I went to his home in Florida, where his entire family (who I had never met before) welcomed me in with open arms and treated me like a part of their family. I am thankful to have formed a lasting friendship with him.
Cydney Rorer
Bridesmaid
Cydney is my brother's wife (and better half) and now my sister! I love her not only because she makes my brother so happy, but also because she is just a truly amazing person. Now that we have moved to Texas, I am thankful to spend so much more time with her and share A LOT of laughs!
Brandon Rorer
Groomsman
Brandon is one of Ashley's brothers and now, I am not only gaining him as a brother, but a friend as well. I knew he had welcomed me into his family the first time we met because he was giving me a hard time (and from being with Ashley, this is how you know that they like you). Now that we live in Dallas, I am excited to spend more time together moving forward!
Karly Alcott
Bridesmaid
Where do I even begin?! We have been friends for over 20 years and have continued to stay close all along. A neighbor introduced us when I was in 2nd grade and she was in 3rd grade and we just clicked right off the bat! We have shared so many memories together that I will always cherish (high school dances, vacations, seeing her get married/have kids, etc). She is a forever friend!
Jacob Rorer
Groomsman
Jacob is Ashley’s youngest brother. Jake was born when Ashley was 16 years old and has now become my little brother as well. Jake is one of the smartest and most talented kids that I have ever met and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for him. Not only will Jake be standing by our side, but he will be a HUGE part of our wedding...
Ella Alcott
Flower Girl
Ella is my friend Karly's daughter and she is one of the sweetest, smartest, and funniest little girls I have ever met! Ella is 8 years old and she is my "little bestie." I have gotten the privilege of being a part of her life as she continues to grow and am very happy to be known to Ella as “Aunt Ashley.” I can’t wait to celebrate this day with my little bestie by my side!
Wyatt McNally
Ring Bearer
Wyatt is my 9 year old "manly" little nephew. Not only does Wyatt love sports, but he loves the outdoors just as much as his uncle. He is also one of the most polite, well mannered kids that you will ever meet and he is definitely "wise beyond his years." I feel privileged to have him by my side on such a momentous occasion. Watch out ladies, he's single!
